Hi,Does anyone know the MMRP or MVRP control protocols?- The MMRP protocol is for distribution of group (multicast ) information.- The MVRP protocol is for distribution and registration of VLAN information.Is it used, have you already used this ?Best...
Hi,Does anyone know a protocol for the Ethernet control plane which has a unicast destination address?MVRP, MMRP, MSTP, RSTP, all these protocols have a multicast reserved destination address.Perhaps we have to look non-802.1Q control plane protocols...
Hello,I'm going to try to be clear.It seems that the MAC addresses of switches are either attached to a port or to a VLAN.In the case of a MAC address is attached to a VLAN, it is in fact attached to all ports that participate to the VLAN.For example...
Hello,Sorry for my ignorance.(1) I can understand this line in the command table :All 0180.c200.0000 STATIC CPUWhatever the VLAN number, all MAC frames carrying a BPDU do not enter the forwarding datase, they are blocked in this direction....
Hi,Have you seen MAC tagged frames with BPDU ?Normally, the tag is unuseless because these MAC frames are not relayed to another port in a switch. They are directly processed by a sublayer client of the MAC sublayer.Thanks for your words,Michel ...
Hi Peter, > I wonder if any of the OAM protocols, especially the one providing the loopback/ping test is unicast-based.In G.8013 (07/2011) section 7.3:"The Ethernet loopback function (ETH-LB) is used to verify connectivity of a MEP with a MIP orpeer ...
Hi Peter,The LOOP frame is a really good case. It's a non-802.1x protocol which is also client of the MAC sublayer;I also have to check if OAM protocols are unicast-based. But... I had a personal constraint more, finding a control plane protocol unic...
Hi Vlad,Unfortunally, you don't bring any consistant information, traces.LLDP has a reserved DA address = 01-80-C2-00-00-0E.All the frames with a reserved address have not there SA address learned. They are not relayed.It is same as STP frames.If you...
Hello Giuseppe,Thanks for this reply> your understanding is correct, because the destination MAC address is that associated to > SVI L3 interface Vlan46 in your example.So, in this case : Vlan46 <=> A specific MAC address <=> A specific IP address> O...
